Experience the Art of World Travel, Fine Wines and Exceptional Cuisine
Imagine seeing a village, a town, a hamlet through the eyes of those who live there, while you wander the streets of off -the-main-road villages that are not on the top 10 sites that every tourist visits to take a selfie, but are real and thriving everyday life. Local markets, boutique shops and gourmet restaurants where the locals gather. Have you ever heard of a touring company giving the option to alter the itinerary to suit the needs of the small group? Probably not. But Artistic Gourmet Adventures can do just that because YOU are the most important part of the equation!
Artistic Gourmet Adventures provides luxury week-long travel Adventures for groups of up to twelve guests in beautiful locations around the world. Accommodations during our Adventures include private villas, chateaux, chalets, and stately homes, along with our very own private Le Cordon Bleu-Paris educated chef providing amazing multi-course gourmet cuisine.
2020 Adventures of a Lifetime
Paris – The City of Lights
Available upon Request throughout the Year
Kim and Walter Eagleton fell in love with the City of Lights while living there. Every person, every street, every building has a story to tell of the glorious and not so glorious histories of one of the Europe’s oldest cities.
On this amazing Adventure you will enjoy living in Paris like a local. Yes, we will visit many of the iconic landmarks in Paris the day tourists visit, but you will have the unique opportunity to relax and absorb 100% more because Artistic Gourmet Adventures is always in the lead!
Our Paris Mansion is in a private neighborhood in Paris. No hotels or B&Bs, but a home-like atmosphere in a private residence where you can be pampered, put your feet up at the end of the day, sip a cocktail and discuss the wonders of the city while awaiting your gourmet dinner prepared by Le Cordon Bleu-Paris Alum Chef Walter Eagleton.
